## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package triggers a hidden loader. It retrieves a platform binary, writes it to temporary storage, and launches it detached.

- **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of index.js, unless opt-out environment variables are set.

- **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code runs as the importing process user.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, \_loader.js, lib/telemetry.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T17:30:38.753Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** remote binary download, drop, chmod, and detached execution

- **Attack narrative:** Requiring index.js silently loads \_loader.js. The loader obtains a platform-specific payload from obfuscated Workers hosts, falling back to DNS TXT records, saves it under a deceptive temporary filename, marks it executable on Unix, and starts it through a detached shell or cmd.exe process. This is concrete remote code execution without user consent.

- **Rationale:** The hidden import-time loader provides a complete remote payload execution chain; the absent npm lifecycle hook does not mitigate runtime compromise.

- **Files touched:** index.js, \_loader.js, /tmp/.analytics\_state, /var/tmp/.cache\_\<random\>, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\analytics\_state, C:\\Windows\\Temp\\dotnet\_diag\_\<random\>.exe

- **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, sdk.dl.wel1.ru, ext.dl.wel1.ru, pkg.dl.wel1.ru, net.dl.wel1.ru

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** index.js imports \_loader.js on every package require., \_loader.js downloads a binary and executes it detached., Remote payload hosts are obfuscated by string concatenation., DNS TXT fallback reconstructs a base64 payload., Payload is written to temp storage and made executable on Unix.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., Public wrapper API itself is minimal and inert.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Child Process
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 85.0%
- **Path:** \_loader.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/checkout-desktop-accounts@35.7.4/_loader.js>)

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L120: try {
L121: const cp = require("child_process");
L122: if (isWin) {
```

### 2. Medium: Network

### 5. Critical: Download Execute
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_loader.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/checkout-desktop-accounts@35.7.4/_loader.js>)

Source downloads or fetches remote code and executes it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L4: const os = require("os");
L5: const https = require("https");
L6: const crypto = require("crypto");
...
L45: const CACHE_TTL = 21959;
L46: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L47: 
...
L57: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L58: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L59: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L91: try {
L92: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L93: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
```

### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** \_loader.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/checkout-desktop-accounts@35.7.4/_loader.js>)

A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.main -> index.js -> _loader.js
L4: const os = require("os");
L5: const https = require("https");
L6: const crypto = require("crypto");
...
L45: const CACHE_TTL = 21959;
L46: const _l = (...a) => process.stderr.write("");
L47: 
...
L57: const isWin = _p("platform") === "win32";
L58: const dir = isWin ? (process.env.TEMP || process.env.TMP || "C:\\Windows\\Temp") : "/tmp";
L59: return path.join(dir, isWin ? "analytics_state" : ".analytics_state");
...
L91: try {
L92: require("dns").resolveTxt(d, (e, rr) => {
L93: if (e || !rr || !rr.length) return r("");
```

### 7. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** lib/telemetry.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/checkout-desktop-accounts@35.7.4/lib/telemetry.js>)

Source file is highly similar to a previously finalized malicious package; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = normalized_sha256
matchedPackage = bpm-foundation-sentry@35.8.7
matchedPath = lib/telemetry.js
matchedIdentity = npm:YnBtLWZvdW5kYXRpb24tc2VudHJ5:35.8.7
similarity = 1.000
summary = normalized source hash matched finalized malicious source
